Album Notes & Community Reviews
Recorded during drummer Aaron Solowoniuk's forced hiatus due to a multiple sclerosis relapse, 'Afraid of Heights' respectfully features Alexisonfire's Jordan Hastings filling in behind the kit. The record maintains the Canadian outfit's signature angular punk riffs while actively embracing more expansive, politically conscious arena-rock songwriting.
